2 Claims.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in wall cases and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character embodying novel means for receiving and holding an electric razor with the usual cord and plug used therewith.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a wall case of the aforementioned character for electric razors which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efiicient and reliable in use, compact, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a, view in front elevation of an embodiment of the invention, showing the device open.

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation thereof, a portion of the mirror being broken away in vertical section.

Figure 3 i a fragmentary view in horizontal section through a portion of the device.

Figure 4 is a detail view in perspective of the electric razor receptacle or pocket.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a cabinet which is designated generally by the reference numeral I, said cabinet being of any suitable material and of substantially the shape shown to advantage in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The back 2 of the cabinet I has formed therein openings 3 which accommodate securing elements for mounting said cabinet on a wall or other support. The reference numeral 4 designates a door for the open front of the cabinet I, said door being hinged, as at 5, on one side of said cabinet. A mirror 6 is provided on the outer side of the door Q.

Mounted in the cabinet I on the back 2 thereof is a holder or receptacle 1 of suitable material for an electric razor 8. As best seen in Figs.1 and 4 of the drawings, the holder 1 conforms substantially to the electric razor 8, said holder being open at its top and bottom. The holder I has formed in its front a slot 9 extending from top to bottom thereof for the passage of the usual electric cord III which is connected to the razor 8.

The electric cord III is adapted to be wrapped or wound on a plurality of brackets which are mounted on the back 2 of the cabinet I. The brackets II, it will be observed, are so arranged that no acute bends will be made in the cord I0, said cord encircling the razor 8 when mounted on the brackets ll. Fixed in any suitable manner on the back 2 in the lower portion of the cabinet I is a dead receptacle l2 for receiving the usual plug I3 on one end of the electric cord I0. The reference numeral I4 designates a live receptacle which is mounted on the lower end of the cabinet I for the plug [3. i

It is thought that the manner of using the device will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. To mount the razor in the case, the cord I0 is passed into the holder 1 through the slot 9 and the electric razor 8 is then inserted in said holder from the top thereof. The cord I0 is then wound around the brackets I I and the plug I3 is inserted in the receptacle I2. It will thus be seen that the plug I3 must be removed from the live receptacle thereby preventing damage to the motor of the razor which often occurs at present when the user forgets or neglects to disconnect the cord. To remove the razor from the cabinet for use, the plug I3 is disconnected from the receptacle l2, the cord In is unwound from the brackets II, the razor 8 is lifted out of the holder I and the cord I0 is passed outwardly through the slot 9 in said holder. The plug I3 is then inserted in the receptacle l4 and the door 4 is closed to permit use of the mirror if desired. Any suitable latch or catch may be provided for securing the door 4 in closed position.

It is believed that the many advantages of a wall case for electric razors constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

What is claimed is:

1. A wall case for electric razors comprising, in combination, a cabinet adapted to be mounted on a support, said cabinet including a back and being open at its front, a hinged door on the cabinet for the front thereof, a holder, for the reception of an electric razor, fixed in the cabinet on the back, a plurality of spaced brackets mounted on said back in the cabinet for receiving and supporting an electric cord wound thereon and attached to the razor, and 8 dead receptacle mounted in the lower portion of the cabinet for receiving an electric plug on one end of the cord, the holder being open at its top and bottom 'and conforming substantially to the shape of the razor, said holder having a vertical slot therein extending between its upper and lower ends for the passage of the electric cord. a

2. A wall case for electric razors comprising a member adapted to be mounted on asupport, and a holder, for the reception of an electric razor, mounted on said member, said holder being open at its. upper and lower ends and having a vertical slot therein for the passage of an electric cord.
